Unless they are doing something else that violates the law, they are pretty much left alone. I rented an apartment where the place was previously used as a grow. The cops knew who did it. They took the plants out. The guy, as far as I know, never even got questioned.-Doug Brunell (America's Favorite Son)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10216616964188376483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771186958138142162.post-51336833915594594342009-07-16T19:08:24.936-07:002009-07-16T19:08:24.936-07:00Aside from the revenue gained from taxing pot, the...Aside from the revenue gained from taxing pot, there will also be a lot less tax money spent on drug busts, putting people in prison, etc. It is insane to me that they spend massive tax dollars on busting a relatively small-time pot dealer and incarcerating him, not to mention any other adult that just happened to be living in the house. <br /><br />That money could go towards actually capturing and containing more rapists, child molesters, and murderers. I find it appalling that trafficking about a sheet of acid can get you 5-40 years in prison or more, but the average child molester goes to jail for a few months to 10 years. <br /><br />I have many more opinions on this matter, most of which you've already heard. This is one of those issues I feel strongly about. Kind of like file sharing. I'd insert a winky guy there, but I'm not very adept at smilies.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319501914793621924noreply@blogger.com
